/* Older boards only had a single tuner device. Nowadays multiple tuner
|
||||||
|
devices may be present on a single board. Using TUNER_SET_TYPE_ADDR
|
||||||
|
to pass the tuner_setup structure it is possible to setup each tuner
|
||||||
|
device in turn.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Since multiple devices may be present it is no longer sufficient to
|
||||||
|
send a command to a single i2c device. Instead you should broadcast
|
||||||
|
the command to all i2c devices.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By setting the mode_mask correctly you can select which commands are
|
||||||
|
accepted by a specific tuner device. For example, set mode_mask to
|
||||||
|
T_RADIO if the device is a radio-only tuner. That specific tuner will
|
||||||
|
only accept commands when the tuner is in radio mode and ignore them
|
||||||
|
when the tuner is set to TV mode.
